Capo 1

C5
The piano is not firewood yet
F5           C5            D5         G5  
They try to remember but still they forget
C5
That the heart beats in threes 
C5
Just like a waltz
F5                             D5         
And nothing can stop you from dancing

C5
Rise from your cold hospital bed
            C5         F5
I tell you, you're not dying
C5        F5           C5        F5
Everyone knows you're going to live
C5                         A5   G5
So you might as well start trying

C5
The piano is not firewood yet
F5                      C5
But the cold does get cold
D5                   G5
So it soon might be that
C5
I'll take it apart, call up my friends
          F5            C5            D5
And we'll warm up our hands by the fire
C5
Don't look so shocked

Don't judge so harsh
C5
You don't know
             F5
You are only spying
C5        F5         C5        F5
Everyone knows it's going to hurt
C5                         A5   G5
But at least we'll get hurt trying

C5
The piano is not firewood yet
F5                    C5
But a heart can't be helped
D5             G5 
And it gathers regret
C5
Someday you'll wake up and feel a great pain
           F5          C5            D5        G5
And you'll miss every toy you ever owned

F5                 C5
You'll want to go back

You'll wish you were small
D5          C5       F5 
Nothing can slow the crying
C5               F5                F5
You'll take the clock off of your wall
           C5           G5    C5 
And you'll wish it was lying

F5             C5
Love what you have and you'll have more love
C5         F5  
You're not dying
C5        F5                    F5
Everyone knows you're going to love
C5                                G5    C5
Though there's still no cure for crying
